THE voter registration period for the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (Barmm) ends Tuesday, March 31, 2026.
The Commission on Elections (Comelec) on Monday reiterated it will not extend the voter registration period in the region.
"Definitely, we have no more extensions," said Comelec Chairman George Garcia in a phone interview.
Garcia said Barmm residents should apply for voter registration between Tuesday and Wednesday to enable them to vote in the September 2025 Bangsamoro Parliamentary Elections and the November 2026 Barangay and Sangguniang Kabataan Elections.
"This is two for one. It's for Bangsamoro Parliamentary Elections, it's also for the Barangay and SK Elections. Be part of the change. Let your voices be heard," Garcia said.
Voter registration activities occur Mondays to Saturdays, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., in all Offices of Election Officers or satellite registration centers in the Barmm.
Latest Comelec data shows 132,178 voter registrants in the Barmm from Feb. 9 to March 28.
